1.  Debussy / Franck / Ravel: Sonata for Flute, Viola & Harp / Sonata for Violin & Piano etc. by Kyung Wha Chung
The list author says:
  "Just listen to Ravel's introduction and allegro for flute clarinet harp + string quartet. Extremely sensual, I know what kind of passion it reminds me of. Also Chung/Lupu play Franck  ravishingly."

Violin Concertos (Wha Chung/Lso/Previn)
3.  Violin Concertos (Wha Chung/Lso/Previn) by Tchaikovsky/Sibelius
The list author says:
  "Kyung Wha Chung plays her violin with bleak passion, and fire without warmth - in my view the finest performance in the 40+ years since Heifetz / Hendl. And a fantastic Tchaikovsky to go with it."

Heifetz Collection, Vols 11-15
7.  Heifetz Collection, Vols 11-15 by Ludwig van Beethoven
The list author says:
  "This is the Heifetz set to own. Each concerto has a special place for me, each performance likewise. Sibelius, Bruch, and Mendelssohn are the ones that I can't live without, though all are tops.."

8.  Allegri - Miserere; Lotti - Crucifixus; Palestrina - Stabat Mater Dolorosa by The Sixteen

9.  Albéniz/Rodrigo/Turina: Rapsodia Española/Concierto de Aranjuez/Rapsodia Sinfonica etc. by Carlos Bonell

10.  Cello Concerto/Enigma/Young Person's Guide (Lpo, Boult) by Elgar/Britten
The list author says:
  "Am I the only person on this planet who owns up to finding du Pré's Elgar less than wholly satisfying? If you are like me, try this later Tortelier/Boult collaboration, truly poignant and elegant."
Used & New from: £2.98

Elgar: Violin Concerto/Vaughan Williams: Lark ascending
11.  Elgar: Violin Concerto/Vaughan Williams: Lark ascending by Sir Edward Elgar
The list author says:
  "Elgar violin concerto, Kennedy in great form. If you don't wish to own the Sammons 1929 version, at least hear it, then buy Kennedy. The two finest performances of this cherished work. Sorry, Lord M."

Grieg/Schumann: Piano Concertos
12.  Grieg/Schumann: Piano Concertos by Edvard Grieg
The list author says:
  "Radu Lupu is SO underrated. I fail to see why this legendary record was so neglected, it is justly reissued on Legends label, a superb remastering of the 1973 recording with ... the underrated Previn!"
